OVERVIEW

Abrasive Blasting Cleaning

SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast Cleaning: When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free of
all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products and other foreign
matter of at least 66-2/3% of unit area, which shall be a square 3 in. x 3 in. (9 sq. in.). Light shadows,
slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously
applied coating in less than 33-1/3% of the unit area is acceptable
SSPC-SP10 Near-White Blast Cleaning: This joint standard covers the requirements for near-white blast
cleaning of unpainted or painted steel surfaces by the use of abrasives. These requirements include the
end condition of the surface and materials and procedures necessary to achieve and verify the end
condition. A near-white metal blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of
all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign
matter, except for staining as noted. Random staining shall be limited to no more than 5 percent of each
unit area of surface as defined, and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations
caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied coating.

6.1.3.

Requirements and general aspects for abrasive blasting

Before abrasive blasting must be evaluated the compressed air to the standard ASTM D4285.
For abrasive quality testing, if mineral or slag) must be performed Chloride Analysis, for exposed
surfaces to weather is recommended that the abrasive has a chloride concentration less than 100
ppm and for inmersed surfaces less than 40ppm.
Testing on Non Metallic Abrasives (mineral and slag) according to the SSPC - AB1.
Testing on Metallic Abrasives (shot) according to the SSPC - AB2 and SSPC - AB3.
Check nozzle diameter and outlet pressure from nozzle. For best results pressure must be between
90 to 100 psi.
Surface Preparation by Abrasive-blasting to fulfill the specified standards for each coating system
The roughness profile recommended for this project is from 1.5 to 2.0 mils.
We recommend that people who do this work have leather gloves to avoid contamination by
sweating.
At the end of the abrasive blasting, must be cleaned by compressed air and if necessary to
supplement with nylon brush, to remove all traces of the abrasive surface preparation. Take the
pictorial references corresponding to the qualification of residual dust quantity on surfaces before
coating in classes of 0 to 5 according to ISO 8502-3, may be taken as acceptance criteria rating
classes from 0 to 2.
In the case of surfaces treated with non metallic abrasives (mineral and slag), must verify the
concentration of remaining salts in the surface according to SSPC Guide 15 standard. The
admisible values are: for inmersed and buried surfaces < 3 ppm, for exposed surfaces to weather < 7
ppm (reference SSPC SP12).
In structures areas where joints are welded with another one, we recommend taping borders with
Masking tape (2 inch), to minimize damage to the applied coat.

6.2. Coating Application

6.2.1.

Coating Equipments

Contractor Coating equipment must be in good conditions in order to perform an application without
any problems and achieve best coverage and application time Consider the following:

Choose the application method according to coating type.

Have the necessary gauges for application pressure display (in case of using equipments)

Airless Equipments): A good selection of tip and proper pressure of the equipment will help to
obtain better performance and quality.

Conventional Equipments: It is important to consider a pressure equipment with a good selection

of nozzles, valves and needle depending on coating type to be applied. To obtain best coverage
with these equipments is necessary to make major dilution than airless equipment.
Suction equipment (Siphon feed gun) can also be used only for touch up as these equipments
tend to spray more as they work with major dilution.

Brushes and Rollers: Must be resistant and adequate to solvent based coating for finishing
application coats. These devices are used for touch up in specific areas, although the finishing will
not be the same as to applied with equipments.

6.2.2.

Weather Conditions

Consider the following weather conditions for coating:

% Relative Humidity < 85.0

Surface T < 45.0 C
Surface T T dew point 3.0 C
Wind Speed no less than a 8 Km/h

Weather conditions must be considered for all coating application, by applying under unsuitable
weather conditions can bring consequences such as peeling of multiple coats or a different
finishing than expected.

6.2.3.

Coating Preparation and Application

Once the surface is prepared, cleaned and dried, proceed to mix the coat following these
recomendations.

La preparacin de pintura debe realizarse en recipientes totalmente limpios. Se debe homogenizar

Coating preparation must be done in clean containers. Must homogenize the coating separately
both part A (resin) as part B (hardener)
Add part B to part A and homogenize with electric agitator or pneumatic type Jiffy, for a maximum
of 3 minutes until the mixture takes uniform appearance, add thinner only after the mix of both
components is completed. Filter to another container with mesh of 30 to 60 or Nylon fabrics.

OVERVIEW

Each pass of the spray gun shall overlap by 50% to avoid holidays, bare areas and pinholes. If
required, cross spray at right angles to first pass. The gun must always be perpendicular to the
surface at a distance of 25 cm for a conventional equipment and 30 cm for an airless equipment.
It is better for the coating to be applied with natural light, in case of requiring use of artificial
lighting area lighting shall be more than 530 lumen /m2, white light of preference.
When exceeding pot life of the coating brings a variation of viscosity losing moisture and levelling
properties so it should be discarded.
Cure is accomplished at 7 days at 25 C and will also depend on the area temperature.

6.2.4.

First Coat Application (Structures and Tank Exterior)

Zinc Clad 60 BR, is an inorganic zinc primer, ethyl silicate type supplied in two parts, liquid base and zinc
dust. It gives an outstanding and longlasting galvanic protection to carbon steel and prevents the corrosive
progression under the film in case of damage of the paint system.

The mixture requires constant agitation during use and application, otherwise, the zinc dust will settle
quickly.
When the environment relative humidity is below to te stated, the film must be water sprayed two
hours after the application , every 3 hours to assure its cure.
Due to fast dry of this product the wet film thickness measure is not possible, therefore the measure is
through its coverage.
El zinc Clad 60 is not repaintable to itself, which means if for any reason occurs a low thickness could not
be repaint with the same product. If found zones with low thinckness, this lacking thickness will be
recovered by an organical zinc paint application.
Prior to the following coat application should be done a mist coat, consisting on the application of a coat
from 1.5 to 2 mils diluted to 40%.
After mist coat application wait a lapsing time before general application of the next coat.
El Zinc Clad 60 has a relation to weight, though is not practical to prepare 1/4 or 1/8 gallon, but using a
scale to measure Zinc dust.

OVERVIEW

Mist Coat

Is a thin film coat with ideal characteristis applied to seal an absorbent dry film as shown in
inorganic paints based Ethyl Silicate as Zinc Clad 60, during its cure process where organic vapors
produced on the formulation leaves empty spaces (air) that must be filled properly letting a
continous film of low thickness dry film which removes the air captured on these spaces.
Mist Coat Application is a thin coat diluted between 40 50 %, in this case of Macropoxy 850, this
thin coat must assure proper seal, which will depend on the technique and expertise of the paintor,
can be applied with nozzles of 0.013 or 0.015 (Airless).
After Mist Coat application, wait an time lapse of 60 to 90 minutes before general application of full
coat (Macropoxy 850) reaching the specified thinckness.

6.2.6.

PAGE

Stripe coat

After applying the first coat, all welds, edges, corners and hard to reach areas shall be striped
with brush or roller as these areas are critical points of premature failure of the coating system.
A reinforcement on each edge, living angle and weld bead is commonly specified since liquid
coatings tend to flow out of these places. This is a result of weathering during curing. If occurs, the
film close to edges will be thinner than the rest of the surface and the result can lead to premature
corrosion in those areas. This situation can become critical when coating fails to nuts, edges, flanges
and weld because these are those that hold the pieces together.
Stripe Coat shall be applied after the first coat and before the second or top coat of paint for any
application system, with the product of the next coat.

6.2.7.

Second Coat Aplication (Structures, Tank Exterior)

Macropoxy 850.- is a product based on polyamide epoxy of high thickness and fast drying, designed for
protecting steel and concrete exposed to industrial environments. Ideal for the finish of industrial
machinery and equipment. Its high solid content assures a proper protection to edges, corners and

9.3. APPLICATION LOSS BY ROUGHNESS

Roughness of the surface
A rough and an abrasive surface will require a major amount of coating than a smooth surface. In this
case is very important the particle size of the material used in abrasive blasting. An abrasive grain thick
and hard, leaves a cutting profile much more crude and harsh than one of more fine and soft grain.
The roughness causes a considerable increase in the actual surface respecting the projected surface. This
aspect should necessarily be considered in order to not make mistakes in the calculations.
Is here where definition of bottle dead, known as the amount of coating to be used for covering the
increased area caused by roughness profile achieved during surface preparation.
The calculation is done taking into account the ratio of bottle dead depending on profile roughness:

9.4. TOUCH UP PROCEDURE

Touch up procedures are ellaborated according to the application type of damage or defect in
existing structures.
a)

Transport and Setup Mechanical Damages Zones

These damages occur when elements are transported from one place to another and stacking them,
also during the setup lifting structures. All the elements having these mechanical damages by
transport and setup most in edges and borders should be repaired. The case is more critical in areas
where damage has got the metal.

b)

Welded Joints
All the elements that have weld joints and those that by timing shows uniform corrosion, as damage
in adjacent welded joints by burns (flame cutting and joints welding).
9.4.1. Surface Preparation.
a)

Remove by mechanical tools: slag and welding spatter, as are found sharp edges must be rounded.

b) If steel surfaces are contaminated with welding fumes, grease and/or oil, should be washed with
water and industrial detergent and then rinse with drinking water according to standard SPC-SP1.
c)

Best cleaning method will be according to standard SSPC-SP-11, otherwise apply standard SSPC-SP3

SSPC-SP11: Mechanical or Pneumatic Cleaning to Bare Metal: When viewed without magnification, the
surface shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products,
and other foreign matter. Slight residues of rust and paint may be left in the lower portion of pits if the
original surface is pitted. The surface profile shall not be less than 1 mil (25 microns). Remainings of rust
and paint can be slightly on the bottom of the pits if the original surface had these pits. Before surface
preparation with power tool, remove visible deposits of oil or grease by any of the methods set out in
the SSPC-SP1, cleaning solvents, or other established methods.

chipping, and power tool descaling. In this type of cleaning you should take care of not polishing the
metal surface in order to achieve a good adhesion of paint to the base.
Where the damage gets the metal, is weakened around these areas so all loose paint or poorly added,
must be removed with spatulas and then must use a motive equipment (power Sander) to eliminate the
reliefs, leaving the repairing area with the appearance of chamfer or down Beach. This procedure is
important and avoids pulling up the edges of old coating by effect of the solvent on the new coat in
these areas by applying the touch up.
